Over the past several years, the U.S. government has become increasingly active in the enforcement of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). But despite the increased focus on criminal prosecutions of companies and their principals, evidence suggests that many people still view some form of bribery as an acceptable or even necessary requirement for doing business in some countries. This increases risk and imposes a responsibility for companies doing business abroad to do all that is necessary to ensure that they and their partners act in ways that are compliant with the FCPA.
